There's so much disappointment and struggle in this businesses, especially if you have lofty goals.

Right now I'm working on a thing that started as a short story but has already ballooned into 12,000 words. The story is set in my current location in The Netherlands, and even if the story never sees the light of day, it has really helped me transition and adapt to this new place.(less)

“Sometimes you mistake getting used to someone's face for knowing them.”
Meagan Macvie, The Ocean in My Ears

“Alaska’s like two thousand miles away from anywhere cultured. No offense, Canada.”
Meagan Macvie, The Ocean in My Ears

“War is what happens when language fails.”
Margaret Atwood

“When we are green, still half-created, we believe that our dreams are rights, that the world is disposed to act in our best interests, and that falling and dying are for quitters. We live on the innocent and monstrous assurance that we alone, of all the people ever born, have a special arrangement whereby we will be allowed to stay green forever”
Tobias Wolff, This Boy's Life

“Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.”
Margaret Atwood

“If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.”
Gospel of Thomas

“John Steinbeck once said that socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.”
Ronald Wright, A Short History of Progress
